Not Really A Recipe: Salad Combinations

If you follow my Instagram page for my food posts, you know that I have no issue throwing things in a bowl and calling it a meal. I’m a believer in the Food Network, a subscriber to their magazine, a Pinner and I think that above all food should be fun and work for you.

If you hate something, don’t eat it, pretty simple.

There’s not a lot that I don’t like, but having tried different eating styles on this journey and accomplished two seasons of competition prep, you learn to get creative.

The past two days I’ve posted salads and some of you have mentioned that you need to up your game. Well, I figure if you’ve tried something at a restaurant and liked it, why not try to recreate it at home. Likewise, change it up at home to keep it interesting.

My favorite summer salad at Panera this year had a lot of fruit in it and a berry dressing of sorts. So, I started making my own, but since I 1. like to eat a lot and 2. notice that I do get hungry within an hour or two of eating a normal salad, I looked to see how I could add volume without adding a lot of macros or calories to my bowl.

This is post is strictly salad combinations that I enjoy. I’ve hyperlinked a few things where necessary. I haven’t added measurements because the size salad I eat a lot larger than the size salad some other people eat.
